Miami’s depleted defense couldn’t stop the Terps, but
Maryland stopped themselves often enough to keep this game interesting right up
to the end.

Nick Ferrara kicked a 32-yard field goal to put Maryland
ahead 26-24 with 1:39 left, Danny O'Brien threw for 348 yards and a touchdown,
and defensive back Cameron Chism played a part in two touchdowns as new Terp's coach Randy Edsall debuted with a win.

Miami was playing its initial game under Al Golden without
eight suspended players, including quarterback Jacory Harris, linebacker Sean
Spence and defensive linemen Marcus Forston and Adewale Ojomo.

Stephen Morris capably filled in for Harris, going 19 for 28
for 195 yards and running for a touchdown. But on a fourth-and-4 in the final
minute, the sophomore threw an interception that Chism took 54 yards to put the
game out of reach with 39 seconds remaining.

Maryland amassed 311 yards and 19 first downs in the first
half alone and finished with 499 yards, including 92 yards on 21 carries by
Davin Meggett.

But Maryland couldn't put the finish on several impressive
drives. The Terrapins got to the Miami 11 or closer on six occasions, yet they
scored only one touchdown and twice came away with nothing.

WHERE IN THE WORLD...?

The way it is...

The way it was...
